Nice work, Daemon. Been there, done that. The later rc’s are worse than the betas.

168 views in UTube and no comments.
That guy needs to learn how to use computers, he comes across as a complete noob who cant even get an OS installed on a computer.
Funny how millions of others have installed Win7 many times without a single problem.
Ive been using it on my old laptop (compaq presario m2000, 2GRAM) and ive been using win7 build 7000, 7068 and now 7077 have i had a single problem with it… NO.
I know its easier to diss the opposition, but IF anyone ever actually looks at your UTUBE post they will (probably rightly) think you should not be “in the job” of reviewing software or operating systems.
Clearly, its not your field of skill.
why did you not get some screen shots of your BSOD’s or provice anything to backup what your saying, or is it just FUD ??

and there is NO RC versions of Win7 out yet, so waying the RC versions are worst is a flat out lie ,,, right ??

The comments above, supposedly from “Dave”, are actually from a Microsoft shill who typically goes by the name “Darryl” (he got banned from LinuxToday for trolling there perpetually).
What a pleasant surprise. We talk about attack dogs and we find a familiar one right here in this post.
Give it up, “Darryl”. You fool nobody. Your IPs are known in Linux sites.
